nnouncement of the Federal Election has spurred activity in the local electorate with all sides of politics keen for September 7 to come around. Member for Grayndler and Deputy Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said this election would be about delivering a better vision for the future. “Locally it’s about who can deliver for the Inner West. Since Labor formed government in 2007, we have invested $160 million into renewing and

rebuilding community infrastructure,” he said. Since his time in Government Mr Albanese has been instrumental in implementing a range of upgrades to sports fields across the Inner West including Fraser Park, Henson Park, Mackey Park and Leichhardt Oval. He pointed out that under Labor, primary schools in the Inner West have received funding for new libraries, science labs, classrooms and multipurpose halls. His opponents however said they felt the electorate had been let down. Liberal candidate Cedric Spencer said families struggled with cost of living pressures and daily traffic congestion.

“Labor is just offering the people of Grayndler more of the same... they will only be offering more talk, more chaos, more division, more uncertainty and more unexpected new taxes.” He said his party’s priority for the electorate is to build a strong economy that will help to ease cost of living challenges. Greens candidate, Hall Greenland, echoed the call for change. “There is a lot of concern and disgust out there in the electorate for the old major parties. There is deep concern at the prospect of an Abbott Liberal Government and what it could do to public services like schools and hospitals,” he said.

he campaign trail... how do I describe it to you? It’s exhausting, frustrating and a highly stage managed affair every step of the way. If you weren’t aware, each party organises campaign buses / planes to move the media around. It would be impossible to cover the campaign any other way. Tax payers don’t pay for it, the costs are split between the media organisations and it would cost an absolute fortune to do it any other way. Th is vital transport is never ready on time, each election it’s like the incumbent party surprise themselves by calling an election. That means for the better part of the fi rst week we’ve been flying on military aircraft, cargo planes, essentially the C-17 Globe Master and C-130 Hercules – yep the ones they carry troops to war in. For the fi rst week I’ve joined the Abbott circus. The Opposition Leader started with his familiar mantra, again promising to repeal the carbon tax, even going so far as to warn the department of Prime Minister and Cabinet that it would be his fi rst order of business on day one of a Coalition Government. It was an unorthodox start and perhaps a little boring. That was until day three,

Enrolment details must be updated BASIL NAIMET

ith the announcement of the election last Sunday by Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, Member for Grayndler Anthony Albanese is reminding his constituents to check their enrolment details before the rolls close on August 12. He encouraged Inner West residents who have recently moved to be diligent and ensure their enrolment details are correct. “The Inner West has a high turnover of voters and they don’t always update their electoral enrolment when they move,” Mr Albanese said. The Deputy Prime Minister wanted

to ensure their details were correct so their votes counted in the crucial election. “It’s important to enrol to vote so you can have your say on the future of our local schools, local jobs and local infrastructure like roads.” Mr Albanese said enrolment is very easy and can be done online by visiting www.aec.gov.au and following the links. “If you don’t enrol or your details aren’t up to date you’ll miss out and face a fi ne,” Mr Albanese said. “With less than a week left to get your name on the roll time is running out.” Those who are overseas are also being reminded to check their enrolment details, so pass on the message to family and friends.

in”. Let’s not forget that in 2007 The Daily Telegraph endorsed Rudd over Howard. Special mention should also go to the Liberal candidate for Greenway, James Diaz. He wasn’t able to tell channel 10 reporter John Hill what the Coalition’s asylum seeker policies involve and he didn’t know that a levy on companies is being proposed to pay for the Paid Parental Leave scheme. Not a good look, especially as he brandished the ‘Real Solutions’ booklet for the cameras. All part of the rough and ready ride of an election campaign.

Hands off it! Roads Minister Duncan Gay has announced a substantial drop in the number of people caught using mobile phones since the start of a new campaign about mobile phone driver distraction. Mr Gay said the innovative ‘Get Your Hand Off It’ road safety initiative was designed to target young people who watch more content online than on television. “In the six weeks since the campaign was launched on YouTube, the weekly number of mobile phone offences has dropped by 11 per cent state wide, when compared to the two week period before the campaign,” Minister Gay said. “The figures for Sydney alone show the number of people caught in the six weeks after the campaign started has dropped by 12 hundred or 13.5 per cent. “These results are extremely positive. It’s an encouraging trend and we’re glad motorists are taking heed of the message to ‘Get Your Hand Off It’.”

when Mr Abbott and his Shadow Treasurer Joe Hockey announced a 1.5 per cent cut in company tax from 30 per cent to 28.5 per cent. The Coalition didn’t announce any new savings measures to pay for it. I’m not sure it will go down well with a cynical electorate already worried about the nation’s fi nances. It was more a message to the corporate community concerned about the cost of Tony Abbott’s Paid Parental Leave (PPL) scheme. Th is tax cut will even out any impost suffered by the top 3,200 companies saddled with the cost of the PPL. It’s likely to be the most expensive pledge of the campaign at a cost of at least $5 billion over the four years of the budget. Without specific savings measures announced along side it, I’m not sure the Coalition’s sales pitch to voters was the best one. On the other side, Kevin Rudd picked a fight with Rupert Murdoch after the The Daily Telegraph produced a front page headline calling on voters to ‘Kick this mob out’. Mr Rudd used one of his campaign media conferences to take this swipe: “I think he has made it fairly clear through one of his newspapers that he doesn’t really like us and would like to give us the old heave-ho and get his mate Mr Abbott

Team’s remarkable turnaround at World Championships BASIL NAIMET

he Australians women’s water polo team has done the nation proud, with a runner up fi nish in last Sunday’s World Championships against Spain in Barcelona, going down by just 8-6. One of the team members, Keesja Gofers who played in the fi nal, is from Newtown and locally plays for Sydney University. She said the experience of playing in the event with world class opposition was terrific. “Having such a dream run to the fi nals at my fi rst senior World Championships was surreal,” she said. “You go into every game of every tournament wanting to win, but when it actually happens and you’re getting ready for the grand fi nal against Spain, in Spain, with hundreds of Spanish fans screaming, stomping and whistling, you almost can’t believe it.” The progress the water polo team, known as the Stingers, have made since their last championships has been nothing short of spectacular. Their last tournament was the World League fi nals held in Beijing in June of this year where they came seventh of eight teams, beating the Canadians. The competition was tougher this time with 16 teams vying to become World Champions. “I’d say we exceeded a lot of expectations. In the weeks between[one

championship to the next], our team and our coaches worked hard on defence because it was our weakness. In these championships, it was our greatest strength,” she said. So what was it like leading up to the fi nal match against Spain? “One of the toughest opponents was Russia. They play fast and defensively intense. They were able to beat a lot of teams with their style of play. We beat them by playing smart, and a more controlled game,” Ms Gofers said.

Water polo isn’t a sport that gets much recognition and exposure from the media compared to other sports such as swimming, however Ms Gofers is quick to point out that it is an entertaining sport. “I believe it has elements that Australian spectators would really enjoy, like the underwater footage showing some rough and tough play as well as amazing skills of players with and without the ball. Water polo is a huge sport in some parts of Europe,” Ms Gofers explained.

Our 700 homeless Homelessness in Marrickville still a concern says CEO BASIL NAIMET

ersonal service was the theme at this year’s Homeless Persons Week at Newtown Neighbourhood Centre’s Big Breakfast. Around 100 people sat down to a three course meal and were waited on by volunteers who gave their time to dish out meals. The centre’s CEO Lisa Burns said homelessness was a major concern because of the stigma and because it affects people of all ages. “One concern for us is the amount of young people who are sleeping on friends’ couches or staying overnight in accommodation that’s not permanent. They end up here looking for meals and we respond,” she said. Homelessness NSW Policy and Research Officer, Digby Hughes, said there were two types of homeless people. “Statistics show that six to seven per cent of homeless across NSW are ‘rough sleepers’,” he explained. “That’s 1,900 people who slept in parks and gardens. The other group are ‘hidden homeless’. These were people who lived with friends, in boarding houses, and severely crowded houses.” Mr Hughes said in the Marrickville region, statistics showed over 700 people were hidden homeless. Across the state there are 28,000 homeless people. He said that fi nding a roof over their

Most Wanted: Drug trafficker SW Police have embarked on a nationwide appeal to capture a number of the State’s most wanted men. Crime Stoppers are leading the charge with Operation Roam 2013, which was launched on Tuesday and will run throughout August. At the top of their list is Duc Dung Luu, a 32-year-old man wanted by Victorian Police for breaching his parole after being jailed for drug trafficking and released on parole in 2006. It is believed Luu is residing in the Inner West areas of Marrickville, Ashfield or Bankstown. Deputy Chairman of Crime Stoppers Peter Price, said in order to capture the criminals, the community’s help was vital. “We need the Australian public to help us locate them before any further harm is done,” he said.

Because that basic need was fulfi lled, he then focussed on getting a job. He now has a part time job and studies part time at

Cycle event to raise funds for Lifehouse RPA

About 1.10pm on Friday, August 2, a person was walking over the rail overpass near Challis Street, Dulwich Hill. At this time they noticed two males standing on the footpath at the corner of Albermarle Street. The victim has then proceeded to walk down the laneway adjacent to the rail corridor. At this point the two males followed them. A short time later the males attacked the person by pushing him into a fence and demanded his wallet. The victim was then pushed to the ground and kicked several times. During the attack the victim has managed to obtain his phone and threatened to call police. When the two males heard this, they fled on foot running in different directions. One of the males is described as Caucasian, about 19-years-old, 180cm tall, chubby build, wearing a white long-sleeved jumper and black pants. The second male is described as having dark skin colour, possibly African or Aboriginal appearance, about 19-yearsold, 180cm tall, skinny build and wearing a black long-sleeved tracksuit jumper with black pants. Anyone with information about this incident is urged to contact the Marrickville Local Area Command on 9568 9299 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

uring cancer is becoming increasingly urgent as the insidious disease continues to destroy people’s lives. The Chris O’Brien Lifehouse at RPA, a world class cancer treatment and research centre at Camperdown, is raising funds for its work through a fun cycling event. The Sunsuper Ride to Conquer Cancer initiative began last year where cyclists of all standards rode from Homebush Bay to Camden. It’s on again over October 12 and 13, which will see thousands of riders taking part in the 200 kilometre ride. CEO of Lifehouse, Tim Dugan, emphasised the ride was for people of all standards and encouraged people to take part to challenge themselves. He said if people didn’t want to ride, they could take part as volunteers and they would be shuttled across the course to help out. “If people don’t want to ride they are welcome to become crew members. That means directing people where to go, helping with lunches and helping in the pit stops. Last year we had over 100 people volunteering,” he said. The event last year raised $5.7 million. “We’re expecting thousands of riders to take part this year, so the sponsorship will be much greater,” Mr Dugan said. One of the cyclists this year is 26-year-old Enmore resident Dominic Le Roy who was diagnosed with cancer in December last year. He said he was looking forward to the challenge and also encouraged people to take part. His target was to raise $15,000 and he has already raised just over $16,000. “It’s funny because I always said that if I was going to do something for charity it wouldn’t be for cancer

The course is a 100 kilometre ride to Camden on a Saturday, then an overnight stay sees the participants ride back to Homebush Bay on Sunday. All proceeds will go straight to the Chris O’Brien Lifehouse at RPA. Visit www.conquercancer.org.au to donate or for more information.

About 9.30am on Tuesday morning police were driving west along Stanmore Road, Stanmore. As police approached the intersection of Albert Street, police observed a green Holden Commodore which was travelling east. During a break in the west bound traffic the driver of the Commodore has initiated a right turn. Whilst turning, the driver was observed to accelerate harshly resulting in the vehicle losing traction and initiating a burn out. The vehicle has continued spinning where it turned 180 degrees and began to travel in a westerly direction. A short time later police have stopped the vehicle and spoke with the driver. The driver has stated he was disqualified from driving. Further checks revealed the driver was disqualified until 2019. He was arrested and taken to Newtown Police Station, where he was subsequently charged in relation to the matter and is due to face Court.

Report validates claims that housing system is broken BASIL NAIMET

he NSW Government has welcomed an Auditor General’s report validating the challenges facing the public housing system. The report called Making the best use of public housing, showed the actions taken by the State Government to improve the system were justified. The Minister for Family and Community Services Pru Goward said the Government continued to improve services. “We will draw on the analysis and recommendations of the AuditorGeneral to continue to improve the system,” she said. “The report was a timely reminder about the mess left after 16 years of Labor, and highlights the need to build a social housing system which breaks disadvantage for vulnerable people, rather than just managing it.” The NSW Government has introduced a range of incentives that will allow maximum use of vacant bedrooms in public housing. One of those is a $20 per week bedroom tax charged for singles and $30 for couples if they choose to continue to live in a property with a number of vacant bedrooms. However Shadow Minister for Housing Sophie Cotsis said the report provided deficiencies, which included a $37 million cut to this year’s maintenance budget. “Th is report is an indictment on the

NSW Fair Trading Commissioner Rod Stowe has issued a warning about a new phishing email claiming to be from the Australian Tax Office (ATO). Mr Stowe said the scam email had been sent to a popular Sydney radio personality who had forwarded the email to Fair Trading for verification. The email claimed to be a notice that a recent attempt to refund a payment to credit card details on fi le with the ATO had failed. It included a link to an alleged tax refund portal and encouraged the recipient to click on the link to receive their refund manually. It also said the recipient would be given the opportunity to update their credit card details. The Commissioner said the ATO had confi rmed the email was a scam and he encouraged people to be wary.

public housing across NSW. “In the last three years I have noticed a significant increase in the number of people coming to my office needing help with housing issues,” Ms Tebbutt said. Ms Goward said the report had confi rmed the Government inherited a broken public housing system.

Alcohol abuse is a significant cost the the NSW Government, the state’s Auditor General has found. Audit Office of New South Wales sponsored research estimates it costs the Government over $1 billion a year, or around $416 from each NSW household. “If social costs are included, the total cost of alcohol abuse in NSWis around $3.87 billion per annum, or about $1,565 from each household,” said Auditor General, Peter Achterstraat. “It is important for Government to have good information on the costs of alcohol abuse so it can respond effectively to the problem. My concern is that the NSW Government does not know the full cost.”

Public housing crisis

Wake up call for your garden As the weather warms up, it’s time to get your green thumb into gear CASSANDRA O'CONNOR

t’s time to wake up your garden! With the start of spring comes the perfect time to get back into your garden and reinvigorate it after months of hibernation. Garden guru Adam Woodhams has some top tips to coax your garden and lawn out of their slumber to look great for the warmer season. “Spring is the right time for planting just about anything in the garden,” he said. “And there are some key things to consider to ensure you get the best results.” When planting, Mr Woodhams says you should dig a hole at least twice as wide as the pot size, soak your plant well before planting, and then water it in well. “And to give your plants a real head start, apply a bio-fertilizer after planting,” he added. It’s also crucial to keep a close watch on moisture levels in the garden and lawn at this time. “The spring growth surge, especially in the flowering plants, can really suck moisture out of the soil. Although things might not have warmed up much, the garden can still dry out quickly, so make sure you water as required or adjust the settings of your watering system to suit.” As plants of every size and shape start to push out new growth hungry bugs will come calling. Keep a close watch for any pests such as aphids on new growth and treat them early with a suitable insecticide

such as a pyrethrum-based spray or vegetable-based horticultural spray oil. After you’ve fertilised your garden, apply mulch. It will keep your garden looking at its best as we head into the summer months by helping it to retain moisture, suppress weeds and insulate the soil from high temperatures. Just ensure you apply your mulch at least 40mm thick and that you don’t push it up against trunks or stems. Winter and spring flowering shrubs such as camellias and azaleas will reward you with bushy, dense foliage and an abundance of blooms next year if you give them a light prune once they’ve fi nished flowering. Spring’s also the perfect time to lavish extra attention on some of your garden’s real star performers. Make sure your roses have been well fed, and if you forgot to prune them over winter it’s not too late to give them a light prune now. Dead spots around the edges of your lawn can often result from over-hanging branches or shrubs shading out the lawn. Prune back from the bottom up in order to lift the canopy until you’ve cut back the amount required. You can also simply fi x dead spots in the lawn by cutting out the affected turf, turning the soil over, or adding some new turf underlay soil and then laying new turf rolls or spreading lawn seed. Just make sure you keep the area suitably moist and don’t mow until it’s well established. Keep an eye out for lawn weeds. Removing them early will save you a headache come mid-summer.

Get ready, because it’s time to wake up your garden and prepare for the warmer months ahead.

The best way to prevent weeds is to keep your lawn healthy through feeding and mowing at the correct height, not scalping your lawn.

Just remember, once the weather warms up, chances are it’s not just your lawn that’s been asleep; your mower probably hasn’t been fi red-up for a few months.

HOROSCOPES ARIES

MARCH 21 TO APRIL 20

You’re going to be in very high spirits and will be able to use this trend to move the goalposts over issues that have been something of a stumbling block of late. Th is is a an excellent time to start new projects. You will be able to be extremely creative and therefore able to make the most of what is happening in your life. Your love life is about to move into over drive and you will begin to feel childlike once more!

TAURUS

APRIL 21 TO MAY 21

The time is right to convince your partner, or family members, that you know what is best for them. If someone close to you isn’t thinking things through, it could be up to you to redress the balance. A continued reliance on your intuition is understandable at the moment as it is unlikely to let you down. Your energies will be directed to your home, so this is the ideal to renovate or fi nd a home.

GEMINI

APRIL 21 TO MAY 21

149ICD3393

A busy time lies ahead and you will be buzzing around your local neighbourhood doing one hundred different jobs all at the same time. Th is is an excellent time in which to deal with authority figures or handle important documents and papers. Your social life will be buzzing with excitement, however you’d be wise to avoid gossiping about others. Remember to slow down and to be extra cautious whilst driving.

You have the scope to discover some useful information and there is enough quietness in your mind for you to make the best of whatever you hear. Even if you are still not moving mountains in your desire to get ahead, you can retain a certain quiet dignity that others could hardly fail to recognise. It’s time to look after your health, sit back, think things through and work out a good strategy for future progress.

LIBRA

SEPTEMBER 24 TO OCTOBER 23

The next two weeks is the ideal time to get to grips with your social life and at the same time to do something to pep up your love life. You will need to evenly split your time between fulfi lling your obligations and having fun. Imagination is strong and you can use this trait to think up ways to please those who are most important to you. Your little black book will be over flowing with social events!

SCORPIO

OCTOBER 24 TO NOVEMBER 22

With your popularity defi nitely on your side, the next 2 weeks ought to be a positive interlude for making a good impression with bosses, colleagues and clients. Enabling you to get what you want as a result. You are being encouraged to forge ahead with plans and to take an independent course. Th is is the time for concise, clear thinking and for achieving some fairly positive objectives in your life.

SAGITTARIUS

NOVEMBER 23 TO DECEMBER 21

You seem to be in very high spirits and can use this trend to move the goalposts over issues that have been something of a stumbling block of late. You can improve money matters as a result and you can probably afford to spoil yourself a little more. There is a strong feeling that you will be travelling over long distances during the next few weeks. You may be invited to visit friends or family who live at a distance.

CAPRICORN

DECEMBER 22 TO JANUARY 20

Avoid getting involved in disputes, either at work or in the family. There is nothing to gain from crossing swords with others and indeed there might be a good deal to loose. Your passions are about to be aroused in some important way, and you need to make sure you are simply not acting out of anger in response to other peoples attitudes. Th is is an excellent time to put all fi nancial affairs in order before they get out of hand.

AQUARIUS

JANUARY 21 TO FEBRUARY 19

Even if winning friends and influencing people remains generally easy, there might be a certain disquiet in your mind that you can’t shift. Th is has more to do with present planetary positions than it does with anything tangible. By all means stick to your guns in the main, but show flexibility within established relationships. During the next 6 weeks you need to allow time for intimacy and passion.

PISCES

FEBRUARY 20 TO MARCH 20

Mercury is fi rmly situated in the area of your chart connected to work and health indicating a need for initiative and drive to make the most of your prospects. The energies of the fiery planet won’t allow you to sink anonymously into a crowd. You’ll be forced to stand out and make your mark on the professional world. Your vitality is going to be on the rise, because rarely have you felt so alive and effective.

Benefits of breastfeeding e all know that breastfeeding is a much healthier option for your baby. Unfortunately some mothers only fi nd out the hard way that breastfeeding can be quite hard to figure out! Mothers should never be afraid to seek help with getting started feeding properly. You won’t always get the help you need at fi rst; maybe because of a rushed hospital stay or someone telling you, ‘you probably can’t breastfeed’ because its easier for them to give you a bottle, or maybe it is just not possible for them sit down for hours sometimes, and really work with you and bub, getting you comfortable with feeding. There are other ways to learn how, and the best advice would be to educate yourself and your partner all about it antenatally and have your support systems ready for if they are needed after the birth. You will fi nd good support from the Australian Breastfeeding Association, midwives and lactation consultants, and talk to all your friends and family who have successfully breastfed in the past. Just recently there was another study adding to the benefits, this time for you as mum. Mothers who breastfeed their children may have a lower risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. The report, published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, suggests a link to do with certain

biological effects of breastfeeding and that longer periods of breastfeeding lowered the overall risk of getting the disease. Previous studies have established that breastfeeding can reduce a mother’s risk of other diseases but until now little has been done to examine the impact of breastfeeding duration on Alzheimer’s risk. Dr Molly Fox, of biological anthropology at the University of Cambridge, led the study. She said: “Alzheimer’s is the world’s most common cognitive disorder and it already affects 35.6 million people”. “So it is vital that we develop low-cost, large-scale strategies to protect people against this devastating disease.” Observers saw a highly significant and consistent correlation between breastfeeding and Alzheimer’s. One possible reason is that breastfeeding increases a woman’s glucose tolerance by restoring her insulin sensitivity after pregnancy. Pregnancy induces a natural state of insulin resistance and Alzheimer’s is characterised by a resistance to insulin in the brain. Over a long time a woman’s body has evolved to breastfeed after giving birth. At any rate, the benefits of breastfeeding for you and the baby are endless, so spend the time to make the most of a precious opportunity!

KEEPING FIT by David Stein

Functional movement

his week Shane Richards has written for us with his usual enthusiasm and good advice!

You couldn’t spend five minutes in a gym without hearing the words, functional movement (FM). It seems every single trainer these days are telling us the importance of functional movements. But, what is functional movement and why do we need it? Firstly, functional movement can be different for many people. Young, old, job and environmental differences are just some reasons why FM can be so varied. Take for example your stay at home mum or dad. They will have a lot of “duties or tasks” to complete in a typical day. So, movements they do in the gym should help them to complete these duties/tasks and to be awesome doing them! Then, you have someone who spends a lot of time in a job where they experience ‘death by chair’. Th is means they are seated basically all day and usually are limited in movement. These two people need plenty of ‘functional movements’ in their training to help balance out their very different days.

Stretching and strengthening programs should be well constructed to either; provide stimulus to muscle groups that are dormant and weaker and; help to strengthen or stretch muscles and joints that are used throughout the day. Your stay at home mumor dad will use their lower backs a lot, picking things up, fi xing things, reaching, bending, pushing, pulling, lifting and twisting all day long. Where as a person who is confi ned to the desk will have a swivel chair and may only ever look forward at their computer and have everything within an arm’s reach. Different people, different days, different movement needs! In short, functional movement is extremely important due to one major factor. We all have different needs and functions therefore different movement requirements. Is it needed? Well this is simple. YES! We need it to be awesome at life! To have confidence in our ability to complete simple and challenging life tasks and to stay away from injury and harm doing them! Stay functional, people! In health and happiness.

SYDNEY FRINGE FESTIVAL HAS PLENTY TO OFFER T

he largest independent arts festival in NSW, the Sydney Fringe Festival promises to be bigger this year with over 300 shows featuring a month long celebration of art, theatre music and sound. Throw in dance, poetry, film, food and wine and it’s a perfect combination that will keep the Inner West abuzz in September. The largest independent arts festival in New South Wales, with over 60 venues taking part across the city’s fringe, the festival will run from September 6 until the 29th and promises to be a cultural journey not to be missed. Newtown this year will feature heavily in the program, with a live music scene at Eliza’s Juke Joint, a free Artcore Guerilla Artfair event in the Dendy cinema car park, or get in touch with your inner child while playing games at Camp Super Happy Sunshine at the Newtown Neighbourhood Centre. In Marrickville the Camelot Lounge will feature a month long live music scene, whilst the Factory Theatre plays host to the very funny Fringe Comedy. This year will also feature visual artist Nigel Sense. The 37-year-old from Enmore will have a range of paintings on display at the Newtown Social Club on King Street. ‘Get Wasted’ is the name of his collection. He said the collection was a response to his childhood heroes. His paintings are eclectic and fascinating. “My work pays homage to the last of the warrior artists. Whether it’s Jackson Pollock or Adam Cullen, alcohol and art goes together like Mick and Keith,” he explained.

Nigel said his work paid tribute to the artists who just went about their work regardless of what people thought of it. He said in more contemporary times artists tended to be more wary of their

audience and tailored their work to pander to their audiences. “Cullens, Jagger and Richards didn’t care what the world thought about their work, they just performed. My exhibition is

a tribute to them.” His first commercial showing will be on August 29 at the Charles Hewitt Gallery Chapel Street Marrickville. – Basil Naimet

he members of Fall Out Boy may have been born and raised in the United States, but it seems they also love Australia. The award-winning rockers will be heading down under for the second time this year, after their intimate theatre tour in March. They will perform alongside special guests British India at the Sydney Entertainment Centre on Friday, October 25. Fall Out Boy, who had great success in their early career, went on a three-year hiatus from 2009 to this year and delighted fans with their first Australian show after their break. Popular radio station Nova FM praised the band for their energy and musicianship, with a glowing review: “the recently reunited Chicago quartet is as focused as ever when it comes to delivering action-packed sets readymade for impassioned singalongs and hectic crowd surges”. Audiences can expect another brilliant night of music from Fall Out Boy, who will display all the tight, catchy harmonies, soaring vocals and sharp songwriting skills that they became famed for. The band, who have left their mark on music and culture since they were formed in 2001, is made up of Patrick Stump on rhythm guitar and vocals, Pete Wentz on bass, Andy Hurley on the drums and Joe Trohman on lead guitar. The Chicago rockers released four studio albums, toured across the globe, won a handful of awards, made their own comic book and fashion line before announcing an indefinite hiatus in 2009 to

pursue other projects. In February 2013, the band confirmed their return to the musical scene and released the track ‘My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light Em Up)’, which

was the first single from Fall Out Boy’s fifth album ‘Save Rock and Roll’. Melbourne band British India will join Fall Out Boy on tour, after the success of their fourth studio album ‘Controller’.

CHATTER ON THE BOX WITH NATHAN TAYLOR I

n a year that we’ve had absolutely no dancing shows (can you believe it?!), comes the news that an old favourite is returning to our screens next year. I’m not talking about ‘Dancing with the Stars’, I’m talking about the other one, ‘So You Think You Can Dance’. After years collecting dust on the Channel 10 shelf, the network has confirmed the once hit series, which ran for three seasons, will return in early 2014. There will be a complete new line-up of judges as well as a new host. Auditions will commence in September. If you’re not over the Election coverage yet, you soon will be after Channel 7 and Channel 9 introduced another news bulletin to air at 7pm on 7TWO and Gem, respectively. It’s not known whether the bulletins will continue after September 7 but there’s guaranteed to be plenty of

politicians cluttering the bulletin for the next month. Huge news for fans of ‘Doctor Who’ this week with the announcement that Peter Capaldi has been revealed as the 12th Doctor. The 55-year-old was named in a live BBC TV Special in the UK earlier this week. ‘Doctor Who’ is currently celebrating its 50th year on television. This show seems to be going from strength to strength and I still haven’t seen it! Showcase are set to air the final eight episodes of ‘Breaking Bad’ within five hours of its US broadcast, starting this Monday, August 12 at 6.30pm. Meanwhile, SBS2 will screen ‘Talking Bad’, a weekly panel discussion on the final episodes hosted by comedian Chris Hardwick from 11.20pm on Monday, August 12.

The Comedy Channel will air the rebooted comedy ‘Arrested Development’ next month. Before the new series airs at 9pm Tuesday, September 3, the Comedy Channel will screen a marathon of the previous three seasons from Saturday, August 31 at 6pm to Sunday, September 1 at 6pm. Season four sees the entire all-star ‘Arrested Development’ cast return to play the dysfunctional Bluth family – a wealthy family that lost everything. The Oscars may still be six months away but it’s been revealed that everyone’s favourite talk show host Ellen DeGeneres will host the 86th Academy Awards next year. Ellen cleverly tweeted: “It’s official: I’m hosting the #Oscars! I’d like to thank @ TheAcademy, my wife Portia and, oh dear, there goes the orchestra”. Ellen has in-fact hosted the Oscars before back in 2007 so I

am sure she will do a great job on the evening. New Channel 10 series ‘Under The Dome’ has been rating well over the past few weeks, and the good news for fans is, it will be back for another season. The Stephen King sci-fi based series will return for another 13 episodes in 2014 so it is guaranteed the drama will continue! Lastly, in some surprising news, Keith Urban is returning to ‘American Idol’ next year – he’s the only host to survive this year’s series which was less than impressive. There’s also speculation that Jennifer Lopez will return to ‘Idol’ and join Keith on the panel next year. Will.i.am and Jennifer Hudson are also rumoured to be in the mix but as yet there are no other confirmations.

Sport In touch with top four Newtown keep finals hopes alive with win over Tigers ewtown kept in touch with the top four after a convincing win against the Wests Tigers on Saturday, beating them 44-22 at Henson Park. A big crowd took full advantage of Sydney’s spring-like weather and watched as the Jets lead by 20-10 at half time. Five-eighth Ben Jones was the fi rst to score when he sliced through the Tigers’ defensive line in the seventh minute. Then with some precision passing winger Paul Rokolati scored in the 11th minute and converted his own try. Later, some well constructed lead up work through Josh Ailaomai and Ben Jones saw fullback Henare Wells fi nish off with a try that could easily be the try of the season. Newtown’s defence fell away to allow two tries to the Tigers in quick succession, and it was game on at 16-10 to the Jets after 26 minutes. Newtown’s right-side winger Pierce Sapsford maintained his good form with a try six minutes prior to half-time. Wests Tigers Kiwi international winger Matt Utai found himself in trouble when he was sin-binned just before half-time. After the break the Jets continued to power through the game, scoring tries at will. The Tigers showed some fight however, scoring two converted tries to get themselves back into the game, trailing by 34-22 with 11

minutes left to play. The Jets had too much class when Josh Ailaomi scored next to the posts with just eight minutes remaining taking the score to 40-22. With just 12 men on the field for the Tigers after captain Sean Meaney was sin-binned in the last remaining minutes, big centre Yileen Gordon scored in the fi nal minute of the

game. Although the Jets coaching staff were happy with their team’s performance, they indicated their communication in defence needed to be worked on. The Newtown Jets are at home to ManlyWarringah at Henson Park tomorrow. Kickoff is at 3pm.
